Shahid VIP is MBC's streaming service for Arabic series, films, live sports and originals. If you want to pay for it with a Coinepay virtual card, this guide walks through what you need, how the Shahid checkout works, and what to try if your card is declined. Plans and prices on Shahid vary by country and change over time, so always confirm the exact plan name, price and terms shown at purchase on shahid.net.
What you need before you start
Getting your details ready first makes checkout faster and reduces the chance of a decline:
- A verified Coinepay account. You must register and complete identity verification (KYC) before your card can be issued. You can create your account and manage everything from the iOS app or Android app.
- Your Coinepay virtual card details: card number, expiry date and CVV, all shown instantly in the dashboard once the card is issued.
- Enough balance on the card to cover the first charge plus any recurring renewals. Shahid subscriptions generally auto-renew at the price then applicable.
- Your real billing details (name, address, country). Use your genuine identity and billing information at checkout.
- A Shahid account email or mobile number, or be ready to create one.
Shahid may check your location at purchase and during playback, and some plans and content vary by territory. The Epic Bundle and Epic Sports Bundle, for example, are limited to GCC countries. Make sure the plan you want is available where you genuinely are.
Shahid VIP plans at a glance
Shahid's comparison page lists a Free tier alongside paid tiers, and its plan FAQ names several packages. Because labels and pricing differ by country and route, treat the figures below as examples and rely on what Shahid displays at checkout.
| Plan | Streams | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| VIP | Two | At the time of writing (October 2026) Shahid's comparison page showed USD 13.99, which is not a confirmed price for every country. |
| VIP | BigTime | - | Listed at USD 16.99 on the same page; availability varies. |
| VIP | Sports | Two | Price shown at checkout. |
| VIP | Ultimate | Four | FAQ uses both "VIP | Ultimate" and "Ultimate"; exact checkout label varies. |
| VIP Mobile | One | Mobile-only plan. |
| Epic Bundle / Epic Sports Bundle | Two | Include Disney+ and OSN+; limited to GCC countries. |
Annual prices and the direct-checkout prices for Sports, Ultimate, Mobile and the Epic bundles vary by region. Shahid states the applicable price, duration and terms appear at purchase, so check the official plan page at shahid.net for your market before you pay.
Step-by-step: subscribe and pay
- Issue or open your Coinepay virtual card. In the Coinepay app or dashboard, create a virtual card (or open an existing one) and note the card number, expiry and CVV. Top it up so the balance covers the first charge and renewals.
- Go to Shahid. Open shahid.net or the Shahid app and select the package you want.
- Create an account or sign in. Register with an email address or mobile number, or sign in to your existing Shahid account.
- Choose a displayed payment method. Shahid identifies card payment, phone/mobile payment, iTunes and Google Play as subscription routes; the methods actually offered depend on your purchase route and location. To use your Coinepay card, pick the card-payment option on Shahid's own checkout rather than an app store.
- Enter your card details. Type the Coinepay card number, expiry date and CVV, and your billing name, address and country exactly as held by Coinepay.
- Complete any verification. If a 3-D Secure step appears, approve it through the method Coinepay uses for confirmations.
- Confirm. Review the price, duration and renewal terms shown, then confirm. Your access should activate once payment succeeds.
A user quotation attributed to an older Shahid help article mentions Visa, Mastercard and Mada enabled for recurring e-commerce transactions, but current acceptance of each type and each merchant's card rules can change and are not something we can confirm here. If you're unsure your card will be accepted for this purchase, contact Coinepay support to confirm your card meets the requirement before you buy.
Managing your subscription
For a Shahid-managed subscription, billing controls live under your adult profile → Account settings → Subscription Management. Existing subscribers can change plans using Available upgrades there. To stop future charges, select Cancel subscription in Subscription Management. If you subscribed through iTunes or Google Play, cancel in that store instead; partner-billed subscribers may need to cancel with the partner.
Cancel before renewal to avoid the next charge. Access normally lasts through the period you've paid for, and fees or unused time are not refundable unless applicable law or purchase-specific terms say otherwise. Shahid's terms were updated on September 27, 2026 covering plan availability, price changes, renewals, partner billing and refunds, so review them if anything looks different.
Troubleshooting: card declined or payment failed
Streaming checkouts can fail for several reasons. Shahid users have reported messages such as "unable to process my payment" and "payment unsuccessful" even when funds were available; those are user reports, not diagnosed causes. Work through the checks below, and remember that a failed payment can lead to suspended access until it's resolved.
Insufficient balance
Confirm your Coinepay card holds enough to cover the full charge plus any taxes shown. Prices are often listed VAT-inclusive in Gulf markets (for example SAR and AED carrier routes), so budget for the exact amount at checkout, not a rounded figure. Top up and retry.
Billing address mismatch
Enter the billing name, address and country that match your Coinepay records exactly. A mismatch between what you type and what the card issuer holds is a common decline trigger. Correct any typo and try again.
3-D Secure not completed
If an extra verification screen appears and times out or is dismissed, the charge won't go through. Make sure you can receive and approve the confirmation Coinepay sends, then restart checkout.
Merchant region checks
Shahid may verify your location at purchase, and some plans are limited by territory (the Epic bundles are GCC-only). If a plan isn't offered where you are, choose one that is available in your country. Always use your real location and details—don't try to work around regional checks.
Still failing?
If multiple attempts fail without a clear reason, wait a short while before retrying so repeated attempts aren't flagged, and check your Coinepay dashboard for any decline notes. For issues on the Coinepay side, reach out via support or Telegram. For problems that are clearly on Shahid's end (your card is fine but checkout still errors), contact Shahid customer support through shahid.net.
A note on virtual cards for subscriptions
Coinepay virtual cards give you an instant card number, expiry and CVV that you can use for online shopping, software, AI subscriptions, advertising and streaming services like Shahid. Everything—issuing cards, topping up and checking transactions—is managed 24/7 from the dashboard and mobile app. Card issuance and fund services are provided by licensed partner financial institutions, and some services aren't available in every jurisdiction; services related to virtual assets are not available to residents of mainland China.

FAQ
Which Shahid plan should I pick for my card payment?
Choose the package that fits how many simultaneous streams you need—for example VIP Mobile (one stream), VIP or VIP | Sports (two streams), or Ultimate (four streams). Prices and availability vary by country, so confirm the exact plan name, price and terms shown at checkout on shahid.net.
How much does Shahid VIP cost with a Coinepay card?
The price depends on your country and the plan. At the time of writing (October 2026) Shahid's comparison page listed VIP at USD 13.99 and VIP | BigTime at USD 16.99, but these aren't confirmed for every country. Check the official Shahid page for your market, and the exact charge appears before you confirm.
My Shahid payment was declined—what should I check first?
Confirm your Coinepay card has enough balance for the full amount including any VAT, that your billing name, address and country match your Coinepay records exactly, and that you completed any 3-D Secure step. Also make sure your chosen plan is available in your location.
Will my Coinepay card definitely be accepted on Shahid?
Merchant card rules can change and we can't guarantee acceptance for a specific purchase. If you're unsure, contact Coinepay support to confirm your card meets Shahid's requirements before you subscribe.
How do I cancel Shahid VIP so I'm not charged again?
For card or phone billing, go to your adult profile → Account settings → Subscription Management and select Cancel subscription before the renewal date. If you subscribed via iTunes or Google Play, cancel in that store instead. Access usually lasts through the paid period.
